drama; fantasy

Characters:

Archie Andrews; Waldo Weatherbee; Jill Johnson; Malcolm Meeks

Synopsis:

Archie takes up jogging through Pickins' Park, and meets a beautiful but unsmiling girl who warns him to be careful at the dangerous "Coffin Curve" at the bottom of Thrill Hill. Mr. Meeks tells Archie that this was Jill Johnson, a girl who was killed at Coffin Curve a decade earlier when a drunk driver couldn't make the curve and ran into her. Archie can't believe that he talked to a ghost, but when he's running past Coffin Curve that night, Jill reappears to save him from sharing her fate.

Indexer Notes

Malcolm Meeks, as stated in a footnote in the story, first appeared in Archie and Me # 141 as a Riverdale High teacher, and transferred to another school by the end of that story.

The paper Archie reads near the end of the story has the headline "Prune Fungus Rages in East." The "prune fungus" is a running gag in Bolling's stories, with many newspaper headlines and announcements mentioning an outbreak of this nonexistent disease.
